Maybe not in all cases. One of the problems the government appears to be having in going to trials is that there isn't enough evidence on a lot of the people. So, its quite possible that there are still some people detained who really deserve a fair trial and to be allowed to go home after being found not guilty.

I've seen Rumsfeld state that no trials are needed....they can be held indefinately without trial until the war on terror ends. The problems with this, compared to a war like WWII, are obvious I think. The war on terror will not end until there are virtually no more terrorists. So, the Rumsfeld is claiming the right to hold people without trial indefinitely. Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
